Falmouth's Darren Horton put a crucial point on the board as he won his close fought match by two up.
Falmouth`s Neil Dickinson halved his match with St Mellion`s Rob Cunningham before James Knight put the first win on the board for St Mellion by winning one up. So, after five matched Falmouth led 3-2 overall.
Falmouth`s Callum Davis played superbly to win by three and one for another crucial point. Rob Ran brought home a point for St Mellion winning by one up in another desperately close match.
Falmouth now needed to win one of the last two matches to secure their place in the final and Steve Robbins was just the man for the job as he closed his match out by three and two much to the relief and delight of the Falmouth supporters.
The final match was won by Todd Carkombe of St Mellion by two and one.
